The image shows a black-and-white drawing of a man, depicted from the shoulders up, in a three-quarter view facing to the right. The man has a full beard and a receding hairline with closely cropped hair on the sides, suggesting a bald appearance on top. His expression is neutral with simplified facial features and minimal detailing. He is wearing a collared shirt. The background of the drawing is filled with horizontal shading lines, contrasting with the plain beige color of the paper. Below the drawing, there is a handwritten indication "110/175" and "20jkw" in pencil, potentially a signature. The drawing has a minimalist style emphasizing line and form.
